[Trombone-l] Calling musicologists and Librarians

Howdy Folks!

1)  Thanks for all the help with the Mascagni.  Oddly, I just received the music, and it is for Basso Tuba, and it's all in Italian and looks very early.  Perhaps I'm playing from a reduction, or something else is a miss.  Either way, I think a very small Eb will suffice well.

2)  I have a new problem.  Our orchestra has a child prodigy soloist coming in April to perform the "Dance of the Goblins" or "Ronde des Lutins" by Antonio Bazzini (1818-1897).  I've managed to track down numerous versions - including an online facsimile of the original piano reduction, which has us on the right track.  However, we're getting the international run-around on the orchestra parts and/or full score.  Every publisher says it's another publisher.

Anyone have it in their orchestra library or some other source?  If I have to spend a weekend in Finale Land inventing it, I'll live, but I'd rather not... Big time!

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.  No trombones in the score, I think.  But that's obviously a terrible mistake!
